I posted some time back about how the words for owl are similarly onomatopoeic in widely divergent languages. Well, here's another one: owl in Chumash is muhu (stress on the ultimate).

May we please have many more sites like the Inezeño Chumash Language Tutorial? It's a very well done, fast site, and though it probably won't lead anyone to fluency in Chumash, it's quite fascinating to a browser like myself. Language tutorials which would be particularly useful to me would be Kabardian Circassian, Latvian, Lappish, and especially Kazakh.

(Thanks again, Languagehat!)
